So I stumbled upon a shipwreck,

While I was wandering through the cosmos-

So I stumbled upon an old man,

While I was walking by a nebula-

So I stumbled through a sentence

Asked him, stranger, what happened to ya? 


So I got me a bit ah provisions, see,

A bit ah tackle, bait, an’ more-

An’ I set off from the port o’ dreams,

Offa god’s great starlit shore- 


So I just happened to be ah fishin’,

Along the immeasur’ble astral plain-

When along came ah star for wishin’,

Soarin’ like a solar crane. 


So I bucked mah stellar craft right quick,

To dodge that hurlin’ light-

But the glowin’ bugger gave th’ mast a kick,

And there began my plight- 


Now my boat’s been rocked and splintered,

And I’m stuck with some extra time-

My trollin’ has been hindered now,

Bored and ponderin’ things sublime.



Here is some advice for you, my friend – he said with some chagrin,

When sailin’ ‘round the heavens, don’t you worry ‘bout no sin-

Cause in outer space we’re lordless, no burdens on our mind

But be wary of the seas, lest some rascal strike you blind.
